Q
  • The spread of a malignancy into body cavities can occur via penetrating the surface of
    the peritoneal, pleural, pericardial, or subarachnoid spaces

16
Q
  • allows the transport of tumor cells to lymph nodes and
    ultimately, to other parts of the body. This is the most common route of metastasis
    for carcinomas
A

17
Q
  • This is typical route of metastasis for sarcomas, but it is also the favored route for certain types of carcinoma, such as those originating in the kidney (renal cell
    carcinoma). Because of their thinner walls, veins are more frequently invaded than are arteries, and metastasis tends to follow the pattern of venous flow.
A
